Chords for Steve Poltz- Let’s Stay Together

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well the first time that I saw you, [A] you were on your couch and [F] you were leaning back
Maybe late for a [C] train or late for a [Bb] plane or maybe a heart [F] attack
You had a wild streak [C] in your eyes
[Bb] Man, I loved your [Fm] guts.
I'd wanna follow [C] you anywhere
[D] No ifs, ands, [C] or buts.
[G] And the second time that [C] I saw you, [D] I wanted you [F] so bad
But I had to [C] get permission from your mother, then [Bb] go upstairs and [A] ask your dad
[F] He had a [C] shotgun sitting there [Bb] right between his [C] legs
He said go out and get me some whiskey, some [G] weed, and a dozen [F] eggs
Let's stay together
_ [Bb] _ _ Like [G] birds of [Am] a feather
_ [Bb] _ _ Baby [G] we're tethered
[C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] Let's stay together
[C] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ He's so sweet
Well _ _
_ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ when I went back to your house [Gm] again, I gave it a [G] real good inspection
[C] I must admit, I fell in love with [G] your record collection
There wasn't one dud, [C] no, nothing [F] you could waste
I gotta tell you [C] babe, you got spectacular [F] taste
It was Christmas [C] time, we were walking [Bb] slow and the snow was [F] starting to fall
Went back inside [C] under the [Bb] mistletoe and I kissed you [F] in the hall
And the choirs of angels were singing [Bb] their songs with little [F] bit attitude
So we put on [C] some rug burns [D] and danced [F] around
Let's stay [C] together
_ [Bb] _ _ Like [F] birds of a [C] feather
_ [Bb] _ _ Baby [C] we're [C] tethered
_ [Bb] _ _ Let's [F] stay [C] together
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well we might find [C] work washing dishes [Bb] at a local bar
[D] Then I'll save up some money and buy us [Bb] a brand [F] new used car
Then we'll drive south [C] and get us a room [Bb] on an organic farm
Then I'll get your name [Gm] tattooed right here in the middle of my arm
[F] Well we might run out [Am] of cash and join a [Bb] crew just to dig in a ditch
But I got a guitar in [Am] my hands and my [Bb] fingers [F] are starting to twitch
It can be hard being [C] a singer, [Bb] finding a decent [F] place to play
While this [C] body's littered along the [Bb] side of the [F] phone highway
Let's stay [G] together
[Bb] Like birds [F] of a feather
[D]
Baby we're [Bb] tethered
_ Baby [F] we're [C] tethered
_ [Bb] _ _ Let's [F] stay together
[G] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
Woo!
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well I like watching you lean down [G] and polish up your shoes
A [C] simple act like that can make me forget [Bb] about all [F] the bad news
It's the way that you [C] grimace, the way [Bb] you make your hips shake
Well everything [C] about you is a [Bb] visible [F] earthquake
You can treat this life [C] just like it's an [Gm] old board [F] game
The kind you keep in the closet you [C] bring out when it [Bb] starts [F] to rain
Dust it off, learn [C] to smile and [G] maybe roll the dice
Try to be patient, try [Eb] to be kind, it ain't that hard to be [E] nice
Let's stay together
